Different approaches to the urban-rural typology: different views on distribution of urban and rural population in Slovakia

The multiregional demography approach is used in an analysis of the urban—rural population dynamics of China. Multiregional population-accounts and methods of estimation of demographic rates are developed on the basis of the multiregional population-accounts concept. An accounts-based urban—rural population projection model is established and used to project the population of China from 1988 to 2087.

This article explores the relationship between the Palestinian urban elites and rural population in the Tiberias district during the Palestine British Mandate, 1918–1948. The article argues that due to the heterogeneity of the Palestinian rural population, urban control of the countryside was stronger than elsewhere in Palestine. In this case, urban control centred, in particular, on the wealthy and powerful Muslim family, al-Tabari. This control maintained its strength until the end of the Mandate. However, despite this urban control of the countryside, the Palestinian Arab population of the district failed to create a united front against the better-organised and far more trained and equipped Zionist Haganah forces during the 1948 War.

Under the process of balancing urban and rural development, many villages appeared the phenomenon of rural population hollowing. The number of rural population reduction and demographic imbalance greatly influenced the process of building new socialist village. From the perspective of development anthropology, to solve the problem of rural population hollowing fundamentally, we must reflect the existing ways to governance rural population hollowing and propose the political, economic, social and cultural governance mechanism to governance rural population hollowing under the process of balancing urban and rural development from the perspective of system correction mechanisms and multi-center levels of governance according to the paradigm of urban-rural dual system analysis.

BackgroundThe extent to which certain maternal, child and family characteristics are associated in families with a 3-year-old child were examined.MethodA total population of families with a 3-year-old child and living in the New Forest were identified. Measures of child behaviour and the maternal GHQ-30 were obtained.ResultsWhereas behaviour problems were found to be significantly associated with all maternal and family factors (except social class), difficult temperament was only related to mother's recall of their own childhood as unhappy and overactivity was only significantly associated with maternal disturbance.ConclusionsThe results are consistent with maternal disturbance and difficult temperament acting independently and additively to influence the development of behaviour problems in preschool children.
